Flightradar24 has caught several airlines in recent days flying through Ukrainian airspace. Every one of the airlines has stated recently that they
were no longer flying through the airspace, due to the conflict going on, in the interest of safety.

Yeah, our beloved Finnair was one of them they actually did fly over there yesterday... But everybody thought that they were in safe altitude
regarding manpads... It didnt occur to anyone that somebody fires a missile that can reach that altitude... the safe altitude limit was if i recall
correctly 32000 ft

One question about your passport. Did your passport survived accident like this Malaysian 777 ? If so then they should make tanks from this material
:>

I have seen footage of entire toilet paper rolls floating down where the plane hit. Obviously, toilet paper is not exactly the most sturdiest and
rugged material there is. It "survived" too and didn't even burn, despite coming from a plane which crashed into a firey ball!!

People, stop ASSUMING things and come to false conclusions. The problem with many conspiracy theories: "It cannot be that...." --- and yet, so often,
things CAN be.

It must be your provider, because mine is fine on all channels. Try calling whoever you kick money to for TV service every month, they might
appreciate a heads-up on a glitch/malfunction. If you're on "rabbit ears", dunno what to tell ya there. Could be a boob tube on the fritz in either
case, too.

Either way, I very highly doubt the crash in Ukraine has a damn thing to do with your TV service.

They haven't said which ones, but usually, even in these situations the air travel corridors are pretty sancrosanct, as much as they can be. But
you're right, they all thought they were safe, because there were only MANPADS seen until now.

Malaysia Airlines also gave a breakdown of the known nationalities of the 283 passengers: 154 were Dutch, 27 were Australians, 28 were Malaysians, 12
were Indonesian, nine were from the United Kingdom, four were from Germany; four were from Belgium, three were from the Philippines and one was
Canadian. Authorities were still trying to determine the nationalities of the other passengers.

the interpol should check that lone canadian passenger.. must be a lone terrorist of some kind..

The 14-second video, which was uploaded on his Instagram account, showed other passengers stowing their luggage in the overhead compartment.

In the caption of the Instagram video, the 30-year-old seemed to have expressed his jitters flying home.

"Bismillah... #hatiadasikitgentar (In the name of God... feeling a little bit nervous)", read the caption.

An announcement, believed to be the voice of the pilot, could be heard in the background. "At the moment, we are on the final stages of boarding and
cargo loading. Once again, please ensure all your phones are off for the flight to..." said the pilot, before the video ended.

Md Ali, a psychology PhD student at Erasmus University Rotterdam, was reported to be heading home to celebrate the upcoming Hari Raya in Muar, Johor.

Flight MH17 disappeared from radar screens in eastern Ukraine at around 1415 GMT, hours after the Boeing 777, bound for Kuala Lumpur, had taken off
from Amsterdam's Schiphol airport.

It is believed to have been accidentally shot down 50km from the Ukraine-Russia border.

Malaysia Airlines, in a statement, confirmed that there were a total of 298 passengers and 15 crew members on board.

Among them were 43 Malaysians including the crew members and two infants.
